`58 Sessions (Miles Davis, Columbia Jazz Masterpieces).

The best band Miles Davis ever put together (and one of the best ever put together by anyone) was the group that included Bill Evans on piano, Cannonball Adderley on alto saxophone and John Coltrane on tenor. This new reissue puts together in one place a group of recordings made in 1958 that had been spread out over various albums before now. The versions of ``Green Dolphin Street`` and ``Stella by Starlight`` here are masterpieces.
